Democrat, will have from 250OO to 5000
majority. Louisville, which gave Republi-
can majority last November, went Democrat

senatorial district by increased majorties.

gains in exclusively Democratic counties,

were offset by Democratic gains elsewhere,
Lexington going Democratic for the first
time in twenty years. The noted Phil
Thompson, Democrat, was defeated for the
Legislature from Harrodsburg. The Demo-
cratic detection was due to the presence of

some gains. In Louisville local option was
defeated. The vote for a constitutional
convention was larger than usual, but not
enough to carry The Labor vote through

SENATOR shERMAN's OPINION.
A Letter Speaking OF His High Re-
gard for Mr.. Blaine.

Recently the Buffalo Express printed some
"reminiscences Of Hon. A. n Cole, who
claims to have been the father Of the Repub-
lican party and it appears that the articles
were forwarded to Senator Sherman, who
wrote the following to Mr.. Cole.

Blaine. This not only defeated but prevented the
concentration Of the Ohio delegation. In favor OF
Blaine ON the night before the last day OF The Con

ton would unite upon me and II so my nomination
WOULD follow as matter Of course. But so much

MccarigIe's Hiding Place.

ST. GATHERINGS, Ont. Aug 2-The Chi
cago boodier, MeGarigle, arrived here this
afternoon. 1t is believed that he is hiding
in the st. John House, from (which all per-
sons are strictly prohibited from entering.
Detectives are here waiting the arrival of
papers from Montreal to arrest McGarigle on
the old charge of conspiracy.
WAsHrNeToN, Aug. 2.-Nothing is known
officially at the State Department or Depart
ment of Justice regarding the proposed ex-
tradition of w. j. McGarigle, Of Chicago. 1t
is not believed that there is anything in the
nature of his offence or the manner In which
he escaped that will justify the federal gov
ernment in demanding his return. On the
other hand, no good would result from an
attempt to kidnap him. If such an attempt
proved successful, it is more than probable
that through the influence of McGarigle's
friends the Canadian government would de-
mand that he be given up. This is regarded
as the most probable at the State Depart
ment, in view Of the strained relations now
existing between the two countries, growing
out of the fisheries difficulties.

TRENTON, Aug. 2.-Justice Bradley of the
United States Supreme Court decided the
Arthur Kill bridge case to-day in favor of the
Baltimore and New York and the Staten
Island Rapid Transit companies. The State
had secured an injunction restraining the
companies from erecting the bridge on the
ground tnat they were using land under the
water belonging to New Jersey. The com
panles had the case removed to the Federal
court, where the States counsel questioned
the power OF Congress to grant railroad com
panies the right to build bridges on State
IandS without the States consent. The
Court in its opinion says:
we think the power Of Congress is supreme
over tne whole subject, unimpeded and unem-
parrassed by State lines or State laws; that in
accomplished is national and that State Interests
state lealousies and State prejudces do not re-
9ulre 10 be consulted. In matters OF foreign and
Interstate commerce there are no States. The
aIguineht based upon the doctrine that the States
have the right of eminent domain In the lands
comprised within their limits. and that the United
otates nave no dominion in such lands cannot
aFall 70 Illustrate the supremacy given by the
States in all matters within the scope Of its
sovereignty. III 1t is necessary that the United
ottieS government should have an eminent do
main sun higher that of the State in order that it
may fully carry out the objects and purposes of
lheConstltution, then 1t has it.
The Congressional act, giving the com
panies named the right to build the Arthur
Nil bridge the justice concludes, "is held
10 De valid, and the injunction is dissolved"

tains stately dignity on all occasions. I'm

Of Blaine's intended movements save that he

he will start for the Trosachs Garland

burdened himself as follows: 81 have been
unknowingly violating the law, and wish to

The Collector asked his visitor to be seated
and proceed with his story. "Myself and
my two boys" continued the stranger, "have
been fishing off one Of the wharves. l am
from New York and am on a visit TO the city,
